Every message is a transaction.It just doesn't feel like one.
ITZA Chat is a real messenger. Typing dots, read receipts, photo albums, voice notes, edit and recall, disappearing messages. All of it settles on the ITZA blockchain, and all of it is served from nodes that anyone can run. There is no company in the middle.
Served from nodes
The app itself is delivered by ITZA nodes over HTTPS. Not a website on a company's server.
Encrypted for each of you
One message becomes two ciphertexts, one per party. Nothing readable is stored anywhere.
Settles in about 100ms
Fast enough that a message lands like any messenger you already use, receipts and all.
Money in the thread
Send value inside the conversation, in the same atomic transaction as the message.
Everything you expect from a messenger. On a chain.
Web3 apps usually ask you to give something up. This one doesn't. Every feature below is in the app today.
Typing indicators
See when someone is writing back, named and live. Sent off-chain over a signed relay, so it costs nothing.
Delivered & read receipts
One tick when it lands, two when it arrives, blue when it's read. Each one is a real on-chain receipt.
Photo albums
Send several photos at once. They arrive as a grid and open into a full-screen swipeable viewer.
Voice messages
Hold to record with a live timer, send or discard. Clean mono audio, captured straight from the mic.
Edit & recall
Fix a typo, or pull a message back for everyone. The contract enforces the window, not a server.
Disappearing messages
Per-chat timers, or a whole-account history window of 30 days, 60 days, or keep everything.
Encrypted backup
Export your history as a file only your wallet can open. Your key never goes inside it.
Search everything
Find any chat or message instantly. The index lives in your browser, so nobody else can query it.
Make it yours
Backgrounds, larger text, notification volume, light and dark. Small things, done properly.
Three things no messenger you use can claim.
There is no server to take down.
Most "decentralised" apps are a normal website talking to a blockchain. If the website goes away, so does the app. ITZA Chat is different: the entire application is hosted on ITZA nodes and served to your browser over HTTPS. Anyone running a node serves it.
Put the same app on a different cluster and it keeps working. That's what web3 was supposed to mean.
Encrypted twice. Once for each of you.
When you send a message, it is encrypted separately to you and to the person receiving it, using x25519 keys derived from your wallet. Two ciphertexts, two owners, no shared copy sitting anywhere in plaintext.
There's no account database to breach, because there's no account. Your identity is a wallet, and the key stays in your browser.
Money that rides inside the message.
Sending value isn't a separate app, a separate address, or a separate step. It travels in the same atomic transaction as the message itself, encrypted like everything else.
Split a bill, send a gift, settle up mid-conversation. It arrives the way a message arrives, because it is one.
Every message carries a credit. It comes back when they reply.
Email is free to send, which is exactly why your inbox is full of things you didn't ask for. ITZA Chat flips the economics without charging real people anything.
A credit goes with it
Your message attaches one credit, which lands with the person you're writing to.
The credit comes home
A reply returns it. Two people in a real conversation trade the same credit back and forth, forever.
The spammer pays
Blast ten thousand strangers and none reply, and you've funded ten thousand strangers.
Sign in once. Use it everywhere on ITZA.
The same username and password works across every app built on ITZA - and your chats come with you. Chess players message from inside the game using the same account, on the same encrypted rails.

The honest comparison.
| ITZA Chat | Mainstream messengers | Other web3 chat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the app comes from | Blockchain nodes anyone can run | Company servers | Usually a company server too |
| What it takes to sign up | A username and password | Phone number, often ID | A browser wallet extension |
| Who can read your messages | You and the person you wrote to | Varies, and the policy can change | Often plaintext on a public chain |
| Sending money | Inside the message, one transaction | Bolted on, region-locked | Separate app, separate step |
| Feels like a normal chat | Yes, that's the whole point | Yes | Rarely, and rarely fast |
| If the company disappears | Nodes keep serving it | The app is gone | The front end is gone |
It gets better from here.
What's on this page works today. Here's what's next - listed honestly, because shipped and planned are not the same thing.
Background push notifications
Messages that reach you when the app is closed, on both phones and desktop. Notifications while the app is open already work.
History across your devices
Encrypted history that follows you to a new phone, without ever handing a readable copy to anyone.
Presence
Online and last-seen, over the same signed off-chain relay that carries typing indicators.
Richer groups
Group albums, roles, and larger rooms, with the same per-person encryption model.

Open it in your browser, pick a username, and send someone a message. That's the whole onboarding. Then add it to your home screen and forget it was ever a website.
